Transexual Problems
|
Transexual Problems This is one of those blogs where I try and bring realization to what my group goes through (transexuals) and maybe make other people realize they don't have it quite so bad. Ethnic groups and Gay people make comments how they are not treated equally quite often and how they don't get a fair shake. This really annoys me…..why? Because the most simple things they take for granted that I can't do. I will give you some examples of struggles I deal with every day so you can see what REAL problems are Employement: 90% of places do not want their public image "tarnished" by having a transexual dealing with their customers so employment is very hard to find…this is why most Tgirls turn to to survive and the suicide rate is over 50%. Why is this the case…..well we are not considered victims of racial prejudice or sexual preference discrimination…it goes far worse…..to most of society we are considered Freaks. Trust me being a Freak is much worse. Unless transexuals can completely pass for a woman they can't even go grocery shopping without be stared at like some weirdo or tolerate whispers as they walk by. Bathrooms: Even something so simple as using a public bathroom is a huge ordeal and cause for stress…..if you go into the mens room your stared at best case or beaten up worst case…..if you go into the women's room you can be arrested. Most states consider you male if you still have your lady beef so its illegal to use the women's bathroom so they force you to use the mens…..besides the embarrassment…its dangerous Traveling: I am afraid to travel…..obviously when your transexual you fear the airport checks….but even road trips can be highly dangerous. If I get a flat or my car breaks down and I'm in the middle of no where lots of good ol boys would love to drag me behind their truck because I'm different. I live in KY …trust me…i can't even go to walmart without being called F*g or freak. What a wonderful world. Cops: Getting pulled over means your treated pretty bad by most police…..if its something serious…the pat down will be humiliating and they will throw you in a jail cell with other men. If you think its drop the soap time when your a guy in there try being a transexual. Finding love: As a transexual your pretty much a niche market in the dating world….you are either upfront that you have a dick or risk getting beaten up by your date for "tricking" him…ahh young love. If you find a man that wants you theres a very good chance he wants you to satisfy a sexual fetish and DOES NOT want to be seen in public with you. This is always wonderful for a transexuals ego to be confined to a hotel room for love and going out in public is out of the question. Most persecuted groups can at least "fit in" to public places. There is a huge different in Ethnic…Sexual Preferance…and being viewed as a freak. Now these are just a few examples…of course I could spend all day going over things Ive had to deal with…..but Transexuals must fight depression everyday and tell themselves they have self worth when they are surrounded by a world that tells them they are outcasts. I have met some wonderful men and women that have made me feel "normal" and accepted…but lets be honest….MOST don't….we live in a close minded world. Especially in my neck of the woods…..as always …..hugs and kisses from me to all your pink parts.  |

I really enjoyed reading your blog. You certainly can pass as a woman as you are very beautiful more so then most "real" women. So hopefully you don't have as much torment as a lot of gurls like you do. Sincerely, Michael

My Dear Lady, As a straight man I am moved to write and tell you how much I respect you courage and determination to be the person you are. You are right about the issue of close mindedness. It is all based on ignorance and misunderstanding which is not excuse. We are gradually as a society trying to better educate and remove barriers but is has always been a slow and torturous process and I don't see that changing. Just know there are a people of all persuasions who do stand with you and are willing to accept you for the person YOU see yourself. I hope that provides at least some comfort to you. I decided a long time that I am never going to be one to lead a public crusade for justice and equality but I can stand in support of each individual I met and help in that small way. I would like to think I have touched a few lives in my years and I will continue to reach out where I can to lend my support where needed. Stand tall sweet lady. Your voice is not lost in the wind.

Sweet Lady, It is unfortunate that I can only offer you words. If you were closer I would take you out to dinner and let you hang onto my arm. What some choose to forget is we are all human beings. Society tries to dictate certain expectations but in the end we all feel the same joy and sorrow. You are the person you see yourself as being. That is a choice you are as entitled to make as any other human being. You have the same sense of modesty and propriety as any other person. I think that is what is being overlooked in some of the cases you sight. If you get a chance please read my blogs. I think you will find them equally as supportive of you. I truly wish I could do more. All I can offer is that you feel free to contact me anytime you like if you need a friendly conversation here. One piece of advice I can offer is to stay strong. If you like who you are then idiots can't touch you. They can say what they like but they cannot diminish you unless you let them. Believe in yourself. Your self worth is the only real coin of value when it comes down to it.

Hang in there Kimber, it's a new year!

Thank you Kimberly. Your activism brings light into the darkness by sharing your experiences with others and showing the difficulties we face in our everyday lives just trying to be normal and true to ourselves. I applaud you for making public things that have been hurtful to you personally, and for taking a stand on issues important to all transgender people. Thank you so very much. -Rachael Jaime

Kimber, you are truly beautiful. It would be an honor to be in your company, no matter where that may be. If one or the other of us were not so damned far away, maybe we could make it a reality.

Amen

I enjoyed reading about you, too. I guess it would be hard in your situation. But just so you know, you are a beautiful person, inside and out, and I'd like to find a girl as fine as you closer to me. I wish you the best, always.

I wish the world didn't have so many fucked up bigoted assholes in it.. I am sorry that you and other transgender people have to put up with that bullshit !!!!

Your spiritual self and the lessons you teach...priceless. Stay vocal and maybe at some point the haters can be taught a lesson. I do believe there will always be hatred...but continue to break down the barriers. I don't know you, but I truly appreciate the person you are. Stay strong...you have supporters. Oceana

And here I was about to post the same exact kind of posted blog of the same issues you well stated here. Wow, I exactly sooo agree with you on every point you made and already came across a lot of it within the past year of being on HRT & open in public as fully femme. The bad thing about Missouri is its a huge Bible thumping belt & they can't see past their own issues let alone jump into my world & try knocking on my door with a baseball bat. Like, how do we as "Transgender" effect their lives- how do we do harm to them? Change is hard for the masses to accept because everybody who grew up learning their morals differently will always want to be close minded, because their generation of parents were taught to be the way they act and behave towards others who are different. I would love to move out of my town since 85% of the people here know me and are all close minded- but, can't until I can afford it. So, Transgenders also have money issues to deal with especially if it's medication such as HRT. Not cheap I'd you have no insurance of any kind. But I don't know how many people know this- but you can have your Dr sign a paper for you to have your drivers license reflect who you are inside than out if it's a very important mental issue that needs to be done if you don't have SRS and are still planning to. Other Countries have recognized genders and I think it was New Zealand that recently did that with androgynous as a gender- on their drivers license- not sure; but wow... Soon here hopefully for all types... Anyways, thank you for this amazing inciteful blog- wish I could share it onto my profile somehow. Maybe I will just cut and paste it and refer it to you if that's okay? Thank You and have a very Happy Holidays & New Years to You and loved ones & All! (^з^)-☆❗️

It's a cruel world out there.... I really don't like people... My cousin was cool but he turned out to be a mean person to me then he died... I had times of being on the streets actually living in parks and benches.... Just cause my family wouldn't let me live with them... I made my way though.... I actually like life and love it but, just hate people.... I like some people though... I still bump heads with my mom and I really don't care for my dad... I just like the fact that I don't talk to the rest of my family much.... Other than that I like the life I lead... I much better of an individual now who is more polite these days.... My only complaint is that they are a number of people who are trying to make sure that I am looking back on it all and just cry about it... They put that out there at me sometimes... I love the way they look today though... I think they as healthy as they want to be!....

Kimber, You are a breath of fresh air. I have begun reading your blog posts and I find you to be one of those "old souls" people. I have been divorced and a single dad from '83 to 2002. My son passed in 2002 and I just quit life. I haven't been on a date or wanted to date since that night he moved on. Until about a couple of years ago, that is when I started making profile pages on every dating site I ran across. My heart wasn't in it though. I just fell into old patterns and went looking for women. (I have been bi all my life.) I lost interest in women and placed profiles on gay sites. That wasn't satisfying either. Fun but not satisfying. A little while ago I began checking the boxes for TS/TG/TV/CD in what I was looking for. Long story short (really? I think that ship sailed. lol)... I discovered that I connected with this. Even the shortest chats and message trading created a passion and interest in people and in life again. Right now I'm seeing a crossdresser I met online. Our first date turned into a week-long stay at my apartment. When we drove back to her place a hundred miles away to drop her off it felt like we had known each other for much longer than a week. We're not in love, just have a deep connection as friends. We went out, we stayed in, and not once do I recall noticing or wondering if anyone was staring or pointing... (we're going to PA on Wednesday.) I was free to be me and confess and apologize for my lack of social graces and dating etiquette - having lived alone with a mattress and a microwave since my son passed. I found myself asking her how to refer to her - masculine or feminine pronouns, etc.. She quit crossdressing after two days and after asking, I switched pronouns and it was just simply all good. I worry as I meet her transgender, transsexual, and crossdressing friends that I will offend them with my lack of knowledge of the vocabulary or something before they realize that it is just the circumstances, not any prejudice or bigotry. Danny (not my friend's name) is patient and easy going while she is helping me with this learning curve and we deal with it with a bit of laughter. But even with this issue I am more satisfied and fulfilled than at any other "dating time" in my life. And during our week at my little apartment here in Fairmont, we had great and fun sex sparingly making the intimacy we shared mostly emotional, not physical. A first time experience for me. I was raised with th the idea that intimacy was strictly a part of a sexual act. We were not allowed emotional intimacy in my family. And now to my point! (finally!!!) In the last year, I have attempted to read whatever I could about this lifestyle I have just chosen to begin. My porn watching was mostly TS/TV/TG as was my literature and books. And until I stumbled into your postings here never felt that I was comfortable enough to actively pursue my new partner interest. You, like Dannny, are so erudite and compassionate - forgiving and accepting - I am losing that small worry of offending a new friend out of ignornace before they know who I am and placing up a barrier to getting closer. And I am discovering facets of who I am that were buried far too deep for me to even notice them. So, thank you KimberHaven, your a jewel in a bucket of rhinestones... as Danny is. I now know two people who are kind and supportive and bring out the best parts of me! It kills me to think that you don't get recognized for the old soul you are and the wisdom you carry just as it does when I think of the same for Danny. And none of the three of us are romantically attracted to another! I have learned in the last eek or so that this is what friendship is... not the suuperficiality of the people who just shared parts of my days up until now. I hope that I can be to you and others what Danny and you are becming to me! Love you both, Mike Hm, I would sure appreciate any feedback on how my profile reads from you if you ever need something to do for a few minutes!  Love, from rmichael

And you are a beautiful trans person or to me just a beautiful lady. Imagine the less feminine trans people. I knew one and she was so awesome but her life is even harder. Good luck to you and it's astounding you are who you are in Kentucky. I grew up in Nashville, went to WKU and my friend there from Danville was the biggest redneck ever. The weird thing in 1991 he thought the trans girl and the Jewish girl were the two best looking people on campus. I did too.

What’s wrong with people, that they hate so much? Sure things are changing, but sadly there has been a lot of backsliding. And the most recent erosion of gender equalities is especially scary! It’s a contrived and concerted effort, being used to galvanize a pool of people, whom are already hateful and prejudiced. I don’t get it. Instead of focusing on personal issues, someone’s gender or sexuality, concern should be aimed at the many important issues facing our world. Kimber, it’s horrible any person should have to deal with the above mentioned everyday issues that become potential flash points! ✌🏻❤️

I was very moved by your words Kimber. In a small way I know what you mean about dating. I was known as a "loose girl" when I was younger so serious dating was out of the question and when I was married it was to a guy from out of state. I have always referred to where I live as Pennsyltucky. So many narrow minded people here. I have gone from straight to bi and am now gay. I am basically shunned by my family now. Good luck to you and bless you, Tina
